In JavaFX, the mouse cursor can be changed as follows:

  scene.setCursor(cursor);

Unfortunately, this does not change the cursor if JavaFX is embedded into an SWT application. Therefore, the FXCanvasEx class should listen to JavaFX cursor changes and adapt the SWT cursor accordingly.

I implemented the conversion from JavaFX Cursor to SWT Cursor within FXCanvasEx and ensured that the cursor is not overwritten by subsequent SWT #setCursor() calls. Many JavaFX standard cursors have an SWT equivalent. The rest have to be replaced with an image version in the future for a complete integration.

The code is published on the master branch. Therefore, I resolve this ticket as fixed for 3.10.0M5.
